We make legacy Unix machines compatible with open source software by installing gcc and key GNU utilities like make, bison etc in /usr/local/bin and put that in the path. Where the names clash, like with "make" we name the GNU one gmake. You then have the ./configure, gmake and gmake install sequence working. - To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -

These are the same steps given in the sqlite README file. I've used them before in other installations. But they didn't work for me in this case. Here's the directions from the sqlite README file. tar xzf sqlite.tar.gz;# Unpack the source tree into "sqlite" mkdir bld;# Build will occur in a sibling directory cd bld ;# Change to the build directory ../sqlite/configure ;# Run the configure script make ;# Run the makefile. make install ;# (Optional) Install the build products I performed the above steps as stated. But they failed on my HPUX 11.0 box. First, the "make" step fails immediately as I explained earlier. The README file doesn't explain that HP's "make" won't work and that you have to use the GNU "make" instead. Many people won't realize this. I have done them a service by telling them so. The "make install" step doesn't work either. It gives error messages saying the "-d" option is invalid for the "cp" command. You also get the following crytic message. I asked HP about this. They don't recommend it. >> If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries >> in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and >> specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR' >> flag during linking and do at least one of the following: >>- add LIBDIR to the `SHLIB_PATH' environment variable >> during execution >> - use the `-Wl,+b -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag >> See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for >> more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages. I posted my experience on this site hoping it might benefit anyone who wants to use sqlite but has found that the standard install process isn't working. Even though my method looks strange, I prefer funny success over sad failure. I just happened to notice that I may not be executing the sqlite installation process (configure/make/make install) in a full "bash" environment. My usual environment is "ksh". Typing in the command "/bin/OpenSource/bin/bash" I get a bash prompt. But apparently that doesn't put me in a full bash environment.

It's easiest if you run the "make install" target too. i.e.: $ mkdir /home/km4hr/sqlite_install/ $ ../sqlite/configure --prefix=/home/km4hr/sqlite_install/ $ make install Then you wind up with sub-directories "bin", "include" and "lib" under /home/kv4hr/sqlite_install/. Everything is more or less where you expect it to be. You'll still need to use the gnu make of course.

Re: [sqlite] My HPUX Notes
that was really funny you know :) On POSIX systems you're supposed to do three things to get your software installed (usually a standard set of three commands). 1. ./configure (some packages leave this out, since they don't use GNU autotools) 2. make (there's almost always this, or an alternative, CMAKE, Scons, ant, etc) 3. make install (if there's a Makefile, you'll be able to do a make install, if the software is supposed to be used anyways... and all replacements have equivalents - ant deploy for instance). So please, please, please, your steps are all wrong... you're not installing sqlite the way you're supposed to install from source on POSIX systems, go back and do the steps.. and you know try to learn about building stuff from source (google would seem to be a good referal source here :) ) PS: I really had to reply to this, seeing as your steps are all wrong, and this mail will be archived and someone else (2 yrs from now), may _actually_ follow your steps (omg!!!) :P Also, I'll take a one step long-suffering act (sigh), you can email me offlist, for a _OneTime_ tutorial (if you really want to learn the right way). After that, read this email again, and you'll see how ridiculous it sounds. peace bro, Essien On 5/7/07, km4hr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Notes on how I got sqlite running on hpux 11.0 To install sqlite on hpux: * download sqlite-3.3.17.tar.gz from web site.
